ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY COUNSEL SHOULD

In the Court’s October 25, 2016 Scheduling and Case Management Order (“CMO”), the
Court set March 28, 2017 as the last day to conduct a Settlement Conference, and April 4, 2017 as
the last day to file a Joint Report Re: Results of Settlement Conference. The parties have violated

Accordingly, the parties are ordered to show cause in writing by July 13, 2017 why the
Court should not impose sanctions in the amount of $1,500.00 against each lead counsel for their
violation of the Court’s order and why this action should not be dismissed. No oral argument on
this matter will be heard unless otherwise ordered by the Court. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 78; Local Rule

IT IS SO ORDERED.
